I would continue the BBS at the same time though, as stated above, they will grow quicker on it. Some other things that are great, are micro worms (live foods) if you know someone that has a culture. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...

As for the powder, I'm not sure what's in it, but I'd guess that it would be ok. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

Many, many angelfish breeders feed their angels brine shrimp. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

myteemouse Hobbyist Posts: 90 Kudos: 20 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Aug-2003	Thanks for everyones replies. I know BBS is good for angels, but i aint talking about one day hatched BBS. The actual question is if BBS have been fed that powdered food that sea monkeys come with to keep them alive. Whether they will harm the angels?
